Preservation Society of Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, NC, Features Works by Eduardo Lapetina
The
Preservation Society of Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, NC, will present
the exhibition, Windows into Infinite Dreams, featuring
new works by Eduardo Lapetina, on view at the Horace Williams
House from Mar. 2 - 28, 2008.
Lapetina retired in 2002 after thirty-five years as a world reknown medical researcher. He collected art as his work took him around the world. In retirement, Lapetina began painting with attending art classes at the University of North Carolina and with Jane Filer at the Carrboro Art Center. He has shown his work in solo and group exhibitions in North Carolina and as part of a group show in the Little Station Gallery in Skopje, Macedonia. Barley Hendricks selected Lapetina's painting, Snake Charmer's Playground, for the 53rd Annual Juried Show of the Durham Art Guild (2007). More than 400 of his paintings are in private collections throughout the US, Europe, Israel, Argentine, and Australia.
Lapetina writes, "My ambition with my paintings is to use symbolic shapes and colors to express my deepest emotions and passion for life. This leads me to apply paint to the canvas in unusual ways - by pouring, splashing, dripping, and scratching. My paintings also require layers upon layers of paint to create a sensuous and turbulent surface texture that is vital and as complicated as life itself."
